aid.
The Independent voter is every
where, evidently asserting himself,
and this is one of the most encourag,
ing political signs of the times. The
independent course of voters pursued
in this county by which republican
board of County Commissioners was
elected by a handsome majority
where they had to face majority of
over 800 in the democratic party, re-
flutes the claim for all the indepen-
dence in voting which republicans
have appropriated to their partisans,
1t shows that the thick and thin dem
ocrats too, are beginning to feel their
strength and grow impatient of too
much party discipline.
Some of our old time political
friends expressed much dissatisfac
ton with the MIDLAND JOURNAL for
advocating an independent course
among voters, and choosing the best
qualified men for the offices to be
filed, where that could be ascertain
ed, and voting and cutting. despite
party lines. The farther we get away
from the polls the palmer will appear
the wisdom of this policy. The boss
es of a majority party are the natural
advocates of machine voting. sticking
within party lines, where the man
hood and independence of The voter
are sunk in the vassalage of party
but what could induce member OF
a minority party to recommend such
a policy is not easily understood.
To advocate or practice such policy
and go out to solicit votes from the
opposition looks like offering insult
to men who are thus approached.
If this practice we're carried out to
it's logical results, no possible change
could be hoped for. Nothing but
revolution could ever effect any
change. But the people are wiser, at
least more honest, than the dema.
gogues. and are becoming every
year more restive and difficult to bind
to party apron strings. The best
man for the place has business ring
to it, and as the voter advances in
intelligence he Is inclined to square
his politics to this rule. We are free
to admit that the last effort did not
achieve complete success in this line,
but the signs are encouraging.

ed States district attorney, and his law
partner, Frank w. Hall. The action was
brought by Nelson I Bromley, of Mar
shall, through his guardian, w. Fl. Cole,
of the town of York, this county, against
George E. Graham, of " aterloo, Emeline
Arndt, of Lake Mills, and Attorneys
Rogers and Hall for the recovery of prop
ertv to the amount of about $50, 900,
which the complaint alleges was obtained
from Bromley by unlawful methods. Up
on the death of Bromley's wife, May l
last. Mrs. Arndt, who is a spiritualistlc
medium and has been for thirteen years
past an intimate friend of the Bromleys,
represented to the old man that while in
communication with the spirit of his de-
ceased wife, the latter requested that the
property should be transferred to Mrs.
Arndt. AS a result, in few days the
transfer was made, the only consideration
being that Mrs Arndt should provide for
Bromley during the remainder of bis life.
When George E. Graham, an adopted
son of the Bromleys, and to whom, in con-
sideration of services rendered the old
people, it had been agreed the property
should be given, learned that it had been
transferred to Mrs Arndt, he retained
Rogers & Hall to defend his claim. By
tie agreement made with the lawyers,
Graham was to divide equally with them
whatever property should be recovered.
When visited by one of the firm and
Graham, Mrs. Arndt surrendered to them,
it is claimed, property to the value of
nearly $11 900, of which amount Graham
received in lands about S., 500 and Rogers
& Hall $4,000 in notes and mortgages.
The many phases of the case make it
peculiarly interesting one.

TWO SHARPERS.

The Fox Lake Breeze recounts an I'M
successful effort of two sharks to conf
dence one of Dodge county's best citizens
out of his farm as follows:
A couple of well-dressed men drove up
to the residence of H. B. Cochrane. in
the town of Trenton, one day last week,
and represented themselves as county
Judge of Dane county and banker at Mad
ison, respectively, and stated that they
were guardians for an estate valued at
$4,000, and were DESTROYS of purchasing
land and stocking it up for the benefit of
the heirs Mr.. Cochrape's farm consists
of 365 acres of as fine land as there is on
the globe He asked the men $50 per
acre They looked over very carefully
every acre of the farm and decided that
$50 was too much. 1t being about dusk
by the time they finished their survey of
the farm, Mr.. Cochrane rendered them
the hospitality of his home, which they
accepted. In the morning after break
fast they informed Fl. B. that they would
give him bis price, and asked if Mrs.
Cochrane was ready to 60 to Beaver Dam
and have the papers made out. Upon
being Informed that she was ready they
retired to the barn and harnessed up their
horse, and before starting inquired of
Cochrane if he would accept draft upon
a Madison bank. Cochrane said that
would be all right if the bankers at
Beaver Dam said the draft was good The
gentlemen drove off AND Mr. Cochrane
and his wife followed in a few minutes.
Arriving at Beaver Dam, they failed to
find the purchasers. 1t is evident that
well-planned scheme to defraud Mr.
Cochrsue had been laid and was only
frustrated by the sagacity of Mr. Cochrane
1t would be well for our farmers to be on
the look out for these sharpers.

FIGHTING FOR SECOND PLACE.

WASHINGTON, July 6.-SpecidI TeIe-
geam.-The incident of the flags has had
at least one result upon the fortunes Of
the administration and of several aspiring
politicians. 1t settles the fact that there
will be no candidate from the South, no
ex-Confederate, on the Democratic Presi-
Dental ticket No one now ventures to
suggest the name Of any one except
Cleveland for the first place upon the
ticket, ana the Southern Democrats who
are here are agreed that it will be neces-
sary to put an ex-Union soldier from the
West on the ticket with Cleveland to
counterfeit the effect of the flags Who
will that ex-Union soldier be? There are
three candidates, and all of them are in
the service of the administration at
Washington, and two from illinois, They
are General A. E. Stevenson, Assistant
Postmaster General; General John c.
Black, Commissioner of Pensions, and
General Villas (they are all called generals
now Postmaster General Villas has al
ways been regarded as nearer to the Presi-
dent than any other member OF his cabi-
net except Manning, and in the latter
part of the period of service of Manning,
when there was slight friction, Villas
was even more the constant counsellor of
the President than Manning. A leading
New Yoruer, not long ago, after a visit
10 Albany, said that Governor Hill would
cooperate with Cleveland for the renom-
ination, and that Villas had received all
the honor that he cared about from the
Postofiee Department, and would not be
a candidate for that honor second time
in the event of the election of Cleveland.
But John G. Black, of Illinois, has a mis-
sion, and it is to be Vice President on the
ticket with Cleveland He is more thor
oughly wounded in every respect than
Villas, who was not wounded at all, and
he is working the clerks in the Pension
Bureau night and day this hot weather to
counterfeit, if possible, the injurious effect
of the Gag incident and Of the pension
yetoes. General Stevenson, of Illinois,
looks on with complacency at this con-
test, quite content that the party shall
accept him on his own merits if they
want him. He has organized no cam
paign. But he has done much to delight
the old JeffersoDian Democracy with his
administration of his branch of the Post
Office Department. He has removed some
$4,000 and more fourth-class Republican
postmasters aDd put good, substantial
Democrats in their places. One or two
of them, to be sure, got into jail after
wards, but that was the fate of war.
General Stevenson has done yeoman ser
vice for the Democracy, and has made a
good executive officer. And the yeoman
Democracy are to be consulted in the
coming campaign.

Commissioner Finn expressed dissatis-
faction with the guarantee, as it was only
for the iron work, and considered the
piles and timber not all sound.
1t was the feeling of the Board that an
indemnity bond should be given by the
builders.
Commissioner Habhegger evinced sur
prise at Commissioner Films position
and suggested that as superintendent of
the bridge work, he should have entered
a protest when anything was going wrong.
But he, {Habhegger), believed every
thing in connection with the structure,
was all right and had every confidence
that the piles were sound and would
stand.
The account was referred to the Finance
Committee and the clerk directed to COM
municate with the company, stating that
the Board was not satisfied with the
guarantee, and demanding bond of in
demnity for $4,000, guaranteeing all
work done under the contract.
The appointment of Geo. Giraffe as
deputy marshal in place Of James Brooks,
was confirmed by the Board
